Nano-indentation is a popular method to characterize the micromechanical properties of nanostructured 8YSZ coatings. However, little research has focused on the creep behavior of nano-indentation and only the elastic modulus and nanohardness have been analyzed. Herein, for the first time, the nano-indentation creep behavior of plasma-sprayed nanostructured 8YSZ coatings using as-prepared nanostructured non-transformable tetragonal (t’) feedstocks was investigated. The indentation creep behavior can be well characterized by the power-law equation and the strain rate sensitivity has been calculated in light of the equation. The strain rate sensitivity was sensitive to the load and the reasons were analyzed in detail. The current results can further guide and design thermal barrier coatings from the point of indentation creep property.

Nanocrystalline materials exhibit many unique physical and chemical properties with respect to their coarse-grained counterparts due to the high volume fraction of grain boundaries. Research interests on nanocrystalline materials around the world have been lasting over the past decades. In this study, we explored the room temperature strain rate sensitivity and creep behavior of the nanocrystalline Mg–Gd–Y–Zr alloy by using a nanoindentation technique. Results showed that the hardness and creep displacements of the nanocrystalline Mg–Gd–Y–Zr alloy decreased with increasing loading strain rate. That is, the nanocrystalline Mg–Gd–Y–Zr alloy showed negative strain rate sensitivity and its creep behavior also exhibited negative rate dependence. It was revealed that the enhanced twinning activities at higher loading strain rates resulted in reduced hardness and creep displacements. The dominant creep mechanism of the nanocrystalline Mg–Gd–Y–Zr alloy is discussed based on a work-of-indentation theory in this paper.

Finite element analysis is used to simulate indentation creep experiments with a cone-shaped indenter. The purpose of the work is to help identify the relationship between the strain-rate sensitivity of the hardness, νH, and that of the flow stress, νσ in materials for which elastic deformations are significant. In general, νH differs from νσ, but the ratio νH/νσ is found to be a unique function of H/E* where H is the hardness and E* is the modulus relevant to Hertzian contact. νH/νσ approaches 1 for small H/E*, 0 for large H/E*, and is insensitive to work hardening. The trend in νH/νσ as a function of H/E* can be explained based on a generalized analysis of Tabor’s relation in which hardness is proportional to the flow stress H = k × σeff and in which the proportionality factor k is a function of σeff/E*.

Finite element analysis is used to simulate cone indentation creep in materials across a wide range of hardness, strain rate sensitivity, and work-hardening exponent. Modeling reveals that the commonly held assumption of the hardness strain rate sensitivity (mH) equaling the flow stress strain rate sensitivity (mσ) is violated except in low hardness/modulus materials. Another commonly held assumption is that for self-similar indenters the indent area increases in proportion to the (depth)2 during creep. This assumption is also violated. Both violations are readily explained by noting that the proportionality “constants” relating (i) hardness to flow stress and (ii) area to (depth)2 are, in reality, functions of hardness/modulus ratio, which changes during creep. Experiments on silicon, fused silica, bulk metallic glass, and poly methyl methacrylate verify the breakdown of the area-(depth)2 relation, consistent with the theory. A method is provided for estimating area from depth during creep.
